LIBRARY ' OXFORD CITY DOCUMENTS HORACE HART, PRINTER TO THE UNIVERSITY Oxford City Documents FINANCIAL AND JUDICIAL 1268-1665 SELECTED AND EDITED J. F.. THOROLD ROGERS, MA. LATE DRUMMOXD PROFESSOR OF POLITICAL ECONOMY >ITY OF OXFORD PRINTED FOR THE OXFORD HISTORICAL SOCIETY AT THE CLARENDON PRESS 1891 [All rights APR 1 0 1974 PREFACE. THK introductions to the documents contained in this book were probably the last contribution of Thorold Rogers to the cause of research for which he had done so much. On hearing that the Society had the Poll-tax rolls of 1380 and several subsidy rolls of later date copied out for publication, he suggested the addition of the Coroners' Inquests of Edward Is time and some other judicial matter, and offered to edit the whole ; an offer of course gladly accepted. He has analysed the Poll-tax returns and shown the nature and extent of the population of the City, small at that time, yet much crowded within the old walls. The total number of those who were above the age of fifteen only amounted to 2035. Allowing for the children, and adding about 1500 for the members of the University, the total cannot have been much more than 5000. He also notes the character of the names— the female name is never Mary, perhaps from reve- rence. Nor is there more than one Ann, perhaps for the same reason. The return of the Hearth Tax in 1665 (the year of the Great Plague) shows that, including the Uni- versity, there were 5134 hearths, i. e. about 3*6 hearths to each house ; and we must conclude that there were about one and a-half times as many inhabitants as hearths, i. e. from 7000 to 7500. It is now about 50,000, but several large suburbs are included. The notices of the subsidies are frag- ments illustrating the financial relation of the City to the Crown. The Masters and Scholars and privileged persons \\crc mostly exempt, or paid in other ways. The Coroners' Inquests come from Twyne's vast col- vi PREFACE. lections (to which Wood owed more than he seems to acknowledge), but the Editor copied several himself from John de Osney's Roll in the Bodleian. Of the 29 Inquests (one being an abjuration of the realm by a horse-dealer before the Coroner), thirteen are murders committed by students. The offenders are largely Oxfordshire men, but not a few are Irish. The University perhaps had no criminal jurisdiction at that time ; and whatever the High Steward now has in theory, has in practice expired, and the Vice- Chancellor's Court only tries civil cases — small debts and (sometimes) torts. Not only were the students armed, but it was not always safe to meet a city guild, such as that of the tailors, when they were holding their Midsummer Revels. The Coroner's office brought in some gain to the King in the way of fines and forfeitures. Then come docu- ments which illustrate the relations between Town and Gown, especially those connected with the great fray on S. Scho- lastica's day, 10 Feb., 1353. The result was that the King largely extended the privileges of the University, and a new series of protests and feuds began. Last of all come miscellaneous documents, showing the old boundaries, the rental, and the tolls of the City : and details of the expense of building the tower of New College and that of Mcrton College. The very detailed index, involving much labour and care, is due to Mr. George Parker of the Bodleian. It will be seen that we have here a sort of Directory and Ratebook and notes from the Tax Collector's books and notes of the wages of labour, and some judicial matter; they more or less illustrate the author's great History of Prices — a monumental work and indispensable for the history of Political Economy. It is to be lamented that Thorold Rogers did not live to put the finishing hand to it, but substantially the work of his life was done. James Edwin Thorold Rogers, son of George Vinin;^ Rogers, Esq., was born at West Meon in Hampshire, March 23, 1823. I remember his laying some stress on the pecu- PREFACE. vii liarly strong character of the inhabitants of that river valley, descendants of the small tribe of Meonwaras in Saxon times, and who formed the medieval manor of Mienes mentioned in the Dialogus de Scaccario : he thought they had always led a somewhat secluded and isolated life. He was educated at ^s College, London, and then at Magdalen Hall, Oxford, where he matriculated 9 March 1843, at the age of 19. He took a First Class in Liter is Hnmanioribus in 1846, was B.A. the same year, and M.A. in 1849. Afterwards he became a member of Worcester College. He was M.P. for Southwark 1880-5, and for Bermondsey 1885-6, and prob- ably the late hours of the House of Commons told on his health. From 1859 to 1890 he was Tooke Professor of Political Economy at King's College, London: in 1862 he became Professor of the same subject at Oxford, and in 1888 was again elected to that chair. He took advantage of the opportunity to popularise the results of his great book in lectures on 'The Economic Interpretation of History': he had already abridged it in his * Six Centuries of Work and 5, and he summed up his conclusions as to tion in an article on 'Finance' in the new edition of the cyclopaedia Britannica.' Of his historical works we might speak more at length, if this were the place. He died on ctobcr, 1^90. in his own home in Oxford. CHARLKS \V. BOASE. CONTENTS. i.

POLL TAX AND CIVIL POPULATION OF OXFORD, 1380-1. Tin: following list of contributors to the poll tax of 1380-1 (4 Ric. II.) has been taken to illustrate the condition and indirectly, the population of Oxford. It is an exhaustive catalogue of all the persons liable to the tax. that is, all the civic residents in the town, for Academics are not charged to it, and probably not the matriculated traders, whom the Uni- versity could admit and license. The list does not contain any trading stationer or bookseller. It seems too that College ser- vants living within the walls of the foundation or of the H;ill are not reckoned. Nor are the monks and friars, a very considerable population in Oxford. Nor are known beggars. The list is limited to lay persons, being over fifteen years of age. The grant may be found with its particulars in Rot. i/o. Parliament met on Nov. 5, 13X0, at Northampton, in the Priory of S. Andre The grant of this poll tax was said by writers of the time to been a principal stimulant to Tyler's insurrection. I have cc pointed out that the causes of that ible and xpectcd uprising were many, and were long in coming to lUit when people irtled by a sudden and ndablc fact, they are exceedingly apt to assign it to tri hicli they are likely to ascribe it to it or natural irritation.

B 2 4 POLL TAX AND CIVIL POPULATION faction felt at the attempt to modify by force the rising market for labour, and the impulses which the teaching of Wiklif and his followers had given to the organisation of the upland folk on the lines of social discontent. I mention this because, with all the deductions given above, I should have expected that the tax-paying inhabitants of Oxford would have exceeded the number 2005, which is re- corded at the foot of the roll. Some time ago, I reckoned that if the tax was limited to persons of 15 years old and upwards, an addition of a third more would give the actual population. But longer consideration induces me to conclude that the fraction is too low, and that as many more would be nearer the mark. I am not, and cannot indeed be, dog- matic. If the former estimate be taken, the civic population was under 3000 ; if the latter, about 4000. It is however by no means impossible that the troubles of the year had drawn away part of the regular population. We know indeed that the insurrection extended over the whole East of England, and as Oxford was the home of Wiklif 's movement, it is likely to have sent its contingent to the outbreak. The tax was to yield twelve-pence for every individual in the population who was liable to it. But it was to be assessed on these conditions — the tax collectors were to levy the amount according to the individual's ability, with the limit that no person was to be charged for himself and wife more than 2Oj. or less than four-pence. In the Oxford distribution the highest assessment is 135. 4^., and the apportionment is so exact that a return is made of ;£ico $s. as the collection for the Crown. During the time in which the tax was imposed, Wykeham was clearing that large space which must have been contained in the North-East ward of the town. If Wood's statement is accurate, this district had once been a populous part of Oxford, and had been severely visited by the plague. It is said to have been at the time of Wykeham's purchase a resort of bad characters. Until however the clearance was quite effected, OF OXFORD, 1380-1. 5 there was probably some settled population on the site. At this time the area which Wykeham enclosed was larger than any which had been appropriated within the walls. The city was divided into four wards — South-East, South- West, North-East, and North-West. The boundaries were no doubt the city walls, and the lines of High Street, Queen Street, Cornmarket Street, and S. Aldate's. Three town parishes existed then which have ceased to be. Two of them, S. Edward and South S. Michael, were absorbed into Wolsey's College, and the site of S. Mildred's was apparently partitioned between Exeter and Lincoln. The wards had each an alder- man, two of whom apparently lived in the South-West ward, and a mayor, William Dagavill or Dagville, a family which long resided in the town. The suburbs were S. Thomas, Stockwell Street and Twenty- acre, Walton, Dunseye, Osney servants, S. Mary Magdalen, S. Giles, Holy Cross, the servants of S. John's Hospital, and the monastic servants. Except S. Frideswide's, there was no considerable monastery within the walls. All the secular Colleges too were within the walls, except Balliol. All the Monastic Colleges and Monastic Seminaries but one, Canter- bury College, were outside the walls. But the Colleges as yet e few. Merton was the only considerable foundation. Balliol, Kxctcr, Oriel, Queen's, had been founded, but were poorly endowed. University was as yet unincorporated. A new departure was being made with New College, ca in some of these accounts Winchester College. The Ha IN c numerous. Some are mentioned, but only incident- ally, because their servants were taxed. I have noted thiity- Though the Academics are exempt, the Bedels of the ity are assessed. That of Theology is John Boston, that of Civil Law John Dosiarc, that of Arts Robert Hut Two sub-bedels are enumerated also — Roger Clifton of Theology, and Stephen Hambury of Civil Law. The superior bedels are all three married, the sub-bedels appear 6 POLL TAX AND CIVIL POPULATION to be single men. Some persons appear to be without occu- pation, either academic or civic, and one is described as * quondam stationarius.' It is not however quite clear whether these persons lived within or without the city walls, as they are not enumerated under any locality, as most of the people are. A large majority of the persons assessed have surnames. I do not pretend to discuss the vexed question, whether these names were permanent. Some have only Christian names. Some — and this has caused me no little difficulty in drawing up the list of callings — appear to be named from their occupa- tion only. As I have observed before in examining subsidy rolls, the female name is never Mary, probably from reverence. Nor have I noticed more than one Ann, perhaps for the same reason. But Mary was not unknown, as this was the name of Henry the Fourth's first wife; while one of the Mortimers was Anne, the wife of the Earl of Cambridge. There are 49 tailors reckoned, — this being the commonest occupation, — 29 brewers, 24 skinners, and 23 webbs or weavers, this being the old name of the calling. There are 18 butchers, 1 6 bakers, 1 6 carpenters, 15 souters (the old name it appears for cobblers, though there are 7 who go by the modern name), 13 fullers, 1 2 tapsters (all women, this termination always implying a female occupation), 1 2 cordwainers, 1 1 chandlers, i o hosti- lers, and the same number of slaters. Nine are respectively alutarii (I suppose boot-makers) and fishmongers, 8 drai Seven persons pursue each of the following callings — glovers, masons, upholders, and dyers. Six are sheepsters, spicers, fishers, fletchers, and goldsmiths. Five are saddlers, lock \ and corsors. Four are tilers, coopers, and ironmongers. There are three plying each of the following trades — laton fourbers, smiths, mercers, sheathers, hucksters, plumbers, parchemoners, cursors, and leeches. There arc two in each of the following— tanners, lawyers, taverners, maltmen, bowyers, cutlers, chapmen, spurriers, lotrices (I suppose that there were other washerwomen), sutrices, millers, homers and harp-makers. OF OXFORD, 1380-1. 7 The following have only one practitioner — dauber, bra poulter, netmaker, sealer, hosier, vintner, kember, kempster, fourncr, albitarius, spinner, toner, painter, mattrass- maker, cr, apothecary, grinder, textor, barber, capper, sawyer, chair-maker, cap-maker, filatrix, sutor, mango equorum, garlick-monger, patten-maker, grasier, and vegatarius. Some of these traders appear to employ a great many hands, and a few apprentices are noted. I have not enumerated the cooks and the manciples. In order to indicate the distribution of the population, I have counted, from the document which follows, the population liable to taxation in each of the four wards, and that of the several suburbs given. I make the number to be 2035, i.e. 30 more than are stated to be liable at the foot of the roll But this is no serious difficulty. The assessors had to reckon the sum of those who were liable. The South-East ward, i.e. the district on the south side of High Street, from Carfax to the East gate, contained 344; the North-East, the most populous, 378 ; the South- West, S. Aldate's and S. Ebbe's 348 ; and the North-West 223 : 1 293 in all. Of the suburbs, the most populous is S. Mary Magdalene, with 157 ; S. Thomas has 88 ; S. Giles 59 ; and Holy Cross 15. The district of Stockwell Street and Twenty-acre, i.e. what is now Walton Street 24 ; Walton Manor 49 ; and Duns- 44, Lastly come the monastic servants. Osney has 15, the hospital of S. John's i 2. \\ hilc the rest of the non-privileged monastic, collegiate and aularian dependents are 259. The suburbs then contain 742 taxable persons. probable that the Colleges, 1 1. ills, and monastic institu- tions contained at least 1 500 inmates. If this be fairly accurate, the \\hole population of Oxford, academic and civic, a little more than five centuries ago, was from about 5000 to 55°°' It will be seen that in some cases the roll gives no rate. It I presume, defective. POLL TAX AND CIVIL POPULATION LAY SUBSIDY. No. Vr*- 4 RICHARD II (1380). Villa Oxon. Poll Tax.

HEARTH TAX OF 1665 THE Hearth Tax, an impost borrowed from French finance, was introduced after the Restoration, in order to assist in creating a revenue for the King. It was a payment of two shillings a year payable in equal moities every six months on every fire- place in a house. It was repealed at the Revolution. It was not imposed on houses below a certain small annual value, 2os. a year. The date of this document is 1665. The returns of the hearth money, or rather of the number of houses returned which are prima facie chargeable, (for the return was of all tenements and exemptions had to be pleaded,) are good evidence as to the population of a town or country from which the returns are made, and I have employed them for population estimates at the end of the seventeenth century, assuming that at this period the average number of inmates was four. In 1 86 1, when overcrowding was far more customary than it was in early times, perhaps is even now, the average was 5*366 to each house. The Colleges were rated and their liabilities head the list. I suppose that the number of hearths is some evidence as to the possible number of occupants, though probably two or three persons shared the same sitting-room. There is how- ever certainly some mistake in the number returned from Magdalene College, for in 1684 this College paid on chimneys, as will be seen in my notes to the History of Pi vol. vi., p. 669. New College is called Winchester College in the return, and the number of chimneys is what the College actually paid for, till the new buildings were occupied, when it paid for 79. HEARTH TAX 77 The year 1665 was, as is well known, that of the great ;ue of London. I have not found in the examination of the New College and Magdalene accounts that it excited any great alarm at Oxford, but it was very deadly at Winchester, and greatly interfered with residence at Cambridge. It would be likely however to have had some effect on the migratory population of the Colleges and Halls. The number of the •ths to which they are declared liable, 1501, does not correspond with the numbers set against each College and Hall, even if the Magdalene number is raised from 12 to 76. When the list is added up it comes to only 1329, even with this correction. I conclude therefore that the Colleges and Halls returned their liabilities on the number of hearths actually in use. In the city 24 houses are exempt on the ground that they are not inhabited. In two of the Halls, Hart and Edmund, it appears that part of the aularian buildings were let off to non-academical tenants, one of them in Hart Hall being described as a mercer, the other as a gentleman. Including the full academical assessment, the number of hs in the city, the suburbs and Binsey being added, is ;. The enumeration is given by wards and parishes, three wards only being distinguished, and one of the parishes, S. Martin, being reckoned in each of the wards. It seems to me highly probable that many of the larger tenements were lodging-houses for graduates and under- graduates. There are 72 houses in the city containing eight or more hearths. Thus, one contains twenty, one seventeen, one fifteen, one fourteen, five thirteen. Some of them may have been inns. The Mayor and Aldermen of the city are rated on three hearths. These should be of the city buildings, those parts, hich still st.ind on the North side of the courtyard. The Town Hal I, built by Rowney, probably a descendant of a person who is named in the list, is of later date. The city in St. Mart ;S HEARTH TAX, 1665. Seven persons only are described as gentlemen. These I conclude were attorneys at law. Three arc esquires. There is one knight, Sir Sampson White, who probably received that distinction at the coronation, in which ceremony, I believe, the Mayor of Oxford takes a part of right Sir Sampson White kept a shop in Oxford, for I have often noted purchases made from him in the College accounts. In full term I should conclude that the city and University had about one and-a-half times as many inhabitants as there were hearths. It must be remembered that students at the University, if they came from any considerable distance did not leave Oxford in the short vacations, and if their home was very remote, resided even during the long vacation. Three- quarters of a century after the date of this document, Adam Smith resided during the whole period that his exhibition lasted in Oxford. The list of householders gives very little information as to the callings of those who are assessed to the hearth tax. One person is described as a mercer, one as a shoe-maker, and two as doctors, though it is not clear that this means medical practitioners. The total number of householders, a few being joint tenants, is 998, and the number of hearths to the city population is 3653, or 3-6573 hearths to a house. In 1690, the average number of hearths to a house all over England was 1-9432, and the number in Oxford in 1665 is higher than that in Middlesex at the later date, where it is 3-2780. I cannot account for this remarkable proportion, except by the reason mentioned above, that many of the houses were destined for academical lodgers. Over all England there were no doubt twice as many inhabitants as there were hearths, but I should infer that in full term the whole population of Oxford, Academic and Civic, in 1665 was from 7000 to 7500. 79 HEARTH MONEY.

The foregoing pages are transcripts in extenso of documents •inij to Oxford Town or City, and University. The fol- "ng arc a register of such documents in the Public Record Office as bear on the city, and are intended to assist such persons as may be desirous of gleaning particulars as to the City of Oxford. Of course these Records had only an ephe- meral interest, and arc only fragments of what, had all been preserved, would have been a complete financial history of the City as far as its relations to the Crown went, and the grants to the Crown by Parliament. The first part is of the contributions made by lay persons, or at least from lay fees, but contain a number of petitions for exemption addressed to the Crown by the Chancellor, Masters, and Scholars. These 9<5 CALENDAR OF DOCUMENTS. privileged persons did however in fact make contributions to the Exchequer, but were not assessed by the ordinary civic authorities. The collection has been made by Miss Wai ford. It is quite certain that Parliaments sat, the proceedings of which have perished, not being preserved in the Rolls or in the Act of the year. This is made clear by the fact, that notices of the payment of tenths, fifteenths, and other parlia- mentary grants, are inserted in private accounts, though there is no other record of them. If an exhaustive account of taxes levied in various towns and counties were made, the charges to which the people were put for Parliamentary grants could be as exhaustively stated. Perhaps when Parliament merely made a grant, but presented no petitions of consequence, and later on passed no laws, it was not thought important to pre- serve the record. The clerical subsidies follow on those from the laity. They are preserved it appears from the reigns of Philip and Mary only. LAY SUBSIDIES. (EXCH. Q. R.)

THE following inquests and inquisitions are intended to serve as an illustration of the judicial procedure in what may be called courts of the first instance, at or about six centuries ago. Most of the inquests and all the inquisitions are ex- tracted from Twyne's Collections, an immense repertory of Oxford antiquities, and to all appearance the principal source of Anthony Wood's notes. Twyne copied from the Records in the Tower, and the City Archives. Not a few of the documents which he handled in the National Collection have perished or become illegible, and many of the documents which were, near three centuries ago, in the possession of the city, have inevitably disappeared. The inquests from the 9th to the i ;th inclusive were copied by the Editor more than twenty years ago from a portion of the coroner's (John de Osney's) roll, which is still preserved in the Bodleian Library. Another portion of the roll was in the city Archives, and was copied by Twyne. It contained the first eight inquests. A third portion of the original roll is said to be preserved in the Archives of Bridgewatcr. The process by which documents and archives have been lost or scattered, is no doubt due to the practice of attorneys, who having been allowed to hold a lien over deeds till their accounts are settled, have kept them long after their charges have been and in due course disposed of them to toy-dealers and others. The privilege enjoyed by these practitioners is wholly superfluous, entirely exceptional, and constantly mischievous, and should be abrogated. It has led to the loss of thousands of valuable documcr i 146 JUDICIAL PROCEDURE. These documents are intended to serve only as an illus- tration of the state of Oxford society in early times. It can- not be disputed that they present a picture of violence and insubordination on the part of the University students at a time when Oxford was crowded with them, and they came from all parts of Europe. A century after the date of most of these documents Alexander V, 1409-1410 (Peter Philargi), graduated at Oxford as a Bachelor of Divinity, proceeding to his doctorate at Paris, and, being finally elected to the papacy, was poisoned by John XXII, his successor, as Gascoigne alleges. The same person is the authority for the statement that there were 30,000 (triginta millia) students at Oxford before the plague, Gascoigne asserting that he counted them from the Chancellor's rolls *. The number seems incredible. The town had no more than about 4000 inhabitants ; and though our forefathers packed themselves together very closely, it is not easy to see how the strangers could have been housed and fed. Of the twenty-nine inquests (one being an abjuration of the realm by a horse stealer before the coroner) thirteen are murders committed by students. When a dead body was found, it was the duty of the person who discovered it to raise a hue and cry, and the neighbours were bound to pursue the culprit. The parishioners, as we shall see further on, were liable to a fine if they neglected this duty by daylight. Information was conveyed to the coroner, who forthwith summoned a jury. This jury was generally of twenty persons, the persons summoned from the parish in which the body was found being put the first, and others from three other parishes being summoned also. The jurors de- clare the facts on oath, though it appears plain that evidence of those who were not on the jury was taken. The finder of the body was under some responsibility, for persons pledge themselves to produce him or her, in case further proceedings are to be taken. The chattels of the offender or offenders, and the value of the deodand, are escheats of the Crown, and * Loci e libro veritatum, p. 202. JUDICI ;/ /•/,•• "-/.nrRE. the town bailiffs are made responsible for their value. But the University had certain rights of escheat, as had also the hospital of S. John, the Prior of S. Frideswide during the fair, and the rector of S. Peter's in the East, who was also lord of the manor of Holywell, and apparently principal pro- prietor in that parish and in Wolvercote. The reversion of this benefice and lordship was granted to the Warden and Scholars of Merton by Henry III in 1266, when the society was still settled at Maldon in Surrey. We shall see that certain responsibilities were attached to the office of the coroner and to the jury, when we deal with the inquisition of the justices in eyre. By a very wholesome rule, negligence, incapacity, or dishonesty on the part of a judge involved personal liabilities, for which, if they were proved, the offender was certainly amerced. Hence it was important to preserve the record of inquests, at least as long as any liability was over the head of this official, or even his executors, possibly his heirs. We may be certain then that the rolls of the coroners were regularly engrossed. It is plain from the Inquisition of the justices in eyre that there was more than one coroner. The first seventeen in this collection are those of John de Osney. But Thomas Lysewys is asso- ciated with Osney in the third, and William de Fencote Doghe in the eighth. In 1306 Thomas Lisewys acts as coroner, in 1307 John Wyth. In 1314 Thomas de Grampound and Reginald Ive act as coroners, and seem to have been in office up to Midsummer 1322, when the latest is found. It appears that one of Osney's colleagues was Adam de Spalding (l>- '74). Perhaps the twenty-fifth of the inquests should have been put with the inquisitions, for it resembles in character the first of these documents. The reason for retaining it in its cnt place, is that, according to Twyne, it comes from Grampound's roll. The office of the coroner seems to have been derived from 1 down, we are told, soon after the Norman I : 148 JUDICIAL PROCEDURE. Conquest, that the locality was prima facie liable for homi- cides and deaths by accident or suicide. Of the inquests contained in this collection four are returned as accidental, one as a suicide. The coroner had to get an appraisement of the offender's or suicide's goods, and to register the same. He had also other duties, as that of securing treasure trove to the Crown, a function revived about a quarter of a century since, in reference to some golden ornaments found in one of the southern counties, which the Treasury sought to recover for the British Museum. It seems too from what follows, that the early coroners had not only the power of holding a court of enquiry and of committal, but of investigating capital charges. Edwardus de Hales in the first of the inquisitions is indicted before the coroner, Adam de Spalding, for the murder of Fulk Neyrmit. The perpetual riot and insubordination of these students, scholars, or clerks must have been exceedingly irritating to the townspeople, and explain, if they do not excuse, the occasions in which the burgesses executed lynch law on the gownsmen. It does not seem that at this time the University authorities had any criminal jurisdiction over the students, as they had after Gascoigne had procured from Henry VI that the Chancellor or his deputy should always be €X officio a justice of the peace. The plea of clergy, and the subsequent handing of the offender over to his ordinary, must have suggested that outrages could be committed almost with impunity when the offender was a clerk. In the many manor accounts which I have read, I have never come across such acts of violence as are recorded here, as, for example, the faction fight in Grope Lane, the occasion of inquests twenty- one and twenty-two. The story of Gilbert de Foxlcc and the tailors, for so I interpret ' cissores,' when the latter were holding their midsummer revels (eighteenth inquest), is an- other case. The Inquisitions, a few of which are printed at the end of the Inquests, are illustrations of the process by which the JUDICIAL PROCEDURE. 149 city authorities took cognizance of offences. Enquiries were held by the coroner, bailiffs, and constables, assisted by a jury, into the culprits who have broken the peace, contrary to the statute of Winchester (13 Edw. I), the jury, as usual, giving the evidence on oath. From the second of these in- quisitions we find that it was the custom to appoint certain watchmen at Carfax to see that persons did not parade the streets in arms after night fall. In this case the watch sought to conduct the offender to his lodging, and for that purpose held him in custody till he was rescued by certain clerks, his companions. The third inquisition deals with the complaint of one Edith de Denyses, who alleges that her house was broken into, her forcer (chest) broken, and her goods carried off. The jury however evidently did not believe Edith's story, and will not vouch for her reputation and that of her companions. The fourth is a disturbance between some of the Abbot of Osney's men and certain clerks, when the former had been drinking. The fifth is an enquiry into the assessment of S. Peter's in the East and its chapel ries to a wool tax held before the abbot of Eynsham and his associates, who assessed the tax and sold the proceeds of it Here it seems that the parish had neither lands nor fleeces (the Merton Fellows kept no flock at Holywcll and its appurtenances), and it was not clear that Wolvercot was within the liberties of the city. In the sixth and seventh Inquisitions certain of the autho- rities (in the first case one of the aldermen, the bailiffs, and a jury; in the other the mayor, bailiffs, two of the aldermen, and a jury) present a variety of offenders, very much as a grand jury docs in modern times. These are of early years in Henry VTs reign. The offenders are generally scholars, or college servants, and therefore privileged persons. The seventh Inquisition is called a view of frank-pledge. The last i^ain an enquiry into an outrage perpetrated on the itncn by certain clerks. One of the watchmen 150 JUDICIAL PROCEDURE. it seems was killed. The offenders are Oxfordshire and Oxford born. A very large number of the earlier culprits are Irishmen. CORONER'S INQUESTS.

PLEAS OF THE CROWN, BEFORE THE JUSTICES IN EYRE, JAN. 14, 1285 (Twyne, MS. IV, p. 617 sqq.). THE following record is a copy of Bryan Twyne's transcript from the Public Records, and gives an account of those Pleas of the Crown, which came under the cognisance of the five Justices in Eyre, who were sent for the purpose of hearing such pleas to Oxford in the early part of the year 1 285. The transcript was well known to Anthony Wood, and is frequently referred to in his collections. It is a characteristic illustration of the ancient process by which the rights of the Crown were enquired into and certified by a body of officials, and certain private rights enquired into and recognised. The action of the Eyre, long ago superseded, is somewhat similar to that which is now exercised by a grand jury. As the document is of considerable interest, it may be well to comment on it at some length. The Justices in Eyre were, it is said, first instituted at the Council of Northampton, held on Jan. 26, 1176 (22 Henry II). We are told that they were sent by commission of the Crown, every seven years, through the whole country, with general instructions, and that the object was the * ease of the people,' who were thus relieved from the necessity of attending the King's Bench. It is however quite clear from the document which follows, that the institution had for its principal object, the determination and registration of certain minor sources of the royal revenue, such as the chattels of convicted offenders, deodands, and fines levied on officials and parishes (miscri- cordiae) who had failed to satisfy some obvious and recognised duty. There are no less than one hundred and eleven cases THE EYRE, 1285. 183 brought before the justices, for the twelfth is given twice over. The justices inspected the Coroners' rolls, in order to see whether any rights accrued to the Crown from inquests, which had been held and recorded. It appears that the Coroners were bound to attend the Eyre, as well as the Mayor, bailiffs, and twelve jurors. Beyond what came before the justices as official records, it appears that they listened to informations as to claims of privilege, trespasses, obstructions, and illegal fisheries, and that they took cognisance of wrongs done to persons who complained of such injuries, the last case recording the remedy accorded for an illegal and excessive ess. It appears that when murders were committed during the day, the parish in which the crime was perpetrated was liable to fine, if the inhabitants did not at once raise hue and cry, and do their best to capture the offenders, and that they were liable to similar penalties if they failed to make an ap- ;mce in the Coroner's court, even though some of them cd on the jury. But the rights of the Coroners in the manor of Holywell, then part of the rectory of S. Peter's in the East, and held by Bogo de Clare, were in dispute, as they centuries afterwards, when the benefice and manor came, in reversion after the incumbency of de Clare, into the pos- ion of Merton College, by a gift made to the College in '>, before its settlement in Oxford. It will be seen too that liabilities incurred by an official, for negligence or breach of duty, were claimable from his heirs or his executors. It is possible that the very large rights involved in the parsonage of S. Peter's in the Ka>t determined the removal of Merton College from Maldon to Oxford. The forty-first case is one of interest. An officer in the service (serviens Regis) informs the justices that lolas de Wantham, the parson of Banbury, has been dis- covered to be an associate of Guy and Emeric dc Montfort, .yn of Wales, the K 184 JUDICIAL PROCEDURE. he collected information at Court, and communicated it to them by letter. On this he is summoned on three successive days, and failing to make his appearance and justify himself is outlawed. Evidence is then given that the parsonage of Banbury is worth a hundred marks yearly, and orders are given to the Bishop of Lincoln to sequestrate the benefice, in order that neither the incumbent nor his agent may be able to derive any of its profits. Three of the Oxford churches are said to be in the King's patronage ; that of S. Peter's in the East, with its chapelrics of Holywell and Wolvercot, that of S. Mary the Virgin, and that of S. Bodoc. The first was worth £40 a year, the second 30 marks. The first was held by Bogo de Clare, the second by Robert de Flecham. The third, which has long disap- peared, had been granted by the late King to the Penitential Friars, who supply evidence to the fact, by exhibiting the King's Charter. Divers pourprestures are then presented. This offence consists in enclosing or encroaching on a public highway, either by land or water, or by obstructing water-courses and so doing injury to the vicinage. Such offences are alleged against the Preaching Friars, who had constructed a bridge on a southern branch of the river ; against the late prior of S. Frideswide, who had pulled down some quarnels, i.e. half towers, such as one sees at New College, of the city wall ; against the Master of S. John's Hospital, for appropriating an eyot in the Cherwell, probably that near its confluence with the Thames ; against the Warden and Scholars of Merton College, for encroaching on the approaches to the Town Wall ; against the Abbess of Godstow, for appropriating forty acres of pasture (no doubt in Walton manor) ; against the Abbot of Rewley, for building a chamber over the river, which impeded the navigation of the Thames near Hythe Bridge ; and against the Preceptor of the Templars' house at Cowley for con- structing a weir on the Thames, perhaps at Iffley. Except in the case of the Abbot of Rewley and Prior of S. Frideswide, THE EYREy 1285. 185 the reputed offenders show grounds for their action. The building on the river is ordered to be demolished at the Abbot's cost, and the City Wall to be repaired at the Prior's cost. No less than nine vintners are amerced, for selling wine in violation of the assize. The quantity sold is 871 tuns, a quantity which seems to give some colour to the statement as to the prodigious number of students resident at this time in Oxford, for if the dolium is taken to be the tun of wine, as it ordinarily is, and probably would be in a legal document, these irregular trade transactions are of 219,492 gallons. Next the justices deal with those who have broken the assize of cloth, i.e. have not supplied it at the legal length, breadth, and weight of the piece. The cloth dealers are fined, and the jury, for concealing the fact, are to be fined as well. At many periods of English legal history, the govern- ment or the legislature from early times strove to secure the manufacture of English cloth, and to discourage the use of foreign products. Part of the process consisted in providing against fraudulent weaving and dressing. Ultimately the product was generally tested at Blackwell hall, near the old Guildhall in London, under the superintendence of the Cloth- workers' Company. Provision was taken that a similar test was supplied at Norwich, Colchester, Leeds, and other centres of the trade. Early regulations about the cloth manufacture > be found plentifully in the Rolls of Parliament. The justices next proceed to deal with escheats of the Crown. Three of these appear to have been forfeitures of Jews, and in two cases the Jews had been hanged. In these cases the escheat had become the property of private persons rant of the Crown, but it is noteworthy that the existing as on other occasions, had to exhibit the grant, and plead their title. The sixty-first case is significant One Henry of Yarmouth had been arrested and lodged in Oxford gaol. He had icn eleven pounds of silver behind the grange of Bogo 1 86 JUDICIAL PROCEDURE. de Clare, the rector of S. Peter's, and lord of the manor of Holywell, this Bogo claiming and enjoying, as we shall very extensive and remarkable rights in the manor. The prisoner confessed to the Mayor and Coroner that he had hidden the money, the Mayor for the time being being one of the vintners who had broken the assize of wine, and sold irre- gularly an enormous quantity. Now the criminal had stolen the money from the Mayor, who had been instructed by the King's butler to pay the sum to a certain merchant, the trans- action having been evidently on the King's account, The hidden sum might be considered as treasure-trove. But on the representation of the butler, the King issues a charter to the vintner, to be exhibited to the Justices in Eyre, in which the justices are bidden to hold the vintner quit of all liability. The charter is issued at Bath, only eleven days before the judges opened their commission at Oxford. It seems that the vintner ran some risk of losing the money cither by the claim of the Crown, or of Bogo de Clare, and therefore took steps to secure his indemnity. The Mayor and Coroner recovered the money from the place where the culprit had buried it. The next head is a long list of persons who had used unlawful expedients for fishing. The offending means are Kiddells and Starkells. The first of these is denounced in the Great Charter, and was clearly a kind of faggot*. The second term is unknown to me. But in Statute 13 Ric. II, cap. 19, certain kinds of illegal fishing-nets under the name of Stalkers are mentioned. Thirty-seven offenders are named, and among them the two Abbots and the Preceptor of Cowley. They are all to be fined. The next is a list of persons who had been indicted but had got away. The offences are homicide, robbery, burglary, and the clipping of coin. One Godale, a homicide, had chat- tels, valued at ten shillings, for which, as usual, the Sheriff is to be responsible. But the bailiff of Bogo de Clare had ap- propriated these chattels, no doubt pleading the privileges of * Sec my History of Prices, vol. i. p. 424. THE EYRE, 1285. IS; his lord. The clippers are Jews, and an enquiry is to be made from the Jews, as to what chattels they possessed. Then follows a list of persons, one of whom is the Queen's cook, who made default on the first day of the Eyre. The Abbess of Godstow is reported as having raised a water-mill on the s domain, in the suburbs. The jury next present that the town of Oxford was part of the King's ancient demesne, and that it was granted by King Henry the Elder (? Henry I) to the Burgesses, on the payment of a fee-farm of £6$ os. 5^., of which £40 is paid into the hcquer, and £2$ os. $d. to the brethren (lepers) of S. Bartholomew. The charity was confirmed by Henry III, who says that it was made by his progenitors; £19 15^. 5^. to go for the lepers' maintenance, £3 $s. for their clothing. The town claims certain privileges and generally the customs of London, and among others, namium vetitum, that is a right of compensation for the seizure of cattle on the ground of >ass or damage. Next comes the fair held by the Prior of S. Frideswidc, for eight days from the feast of S. Frideswide, Oct. 18 inclu- sive. The jury say that they do not know by what warrant it is held. The Prior appears by his attorney and claims that they have held it before the time of legal memory, but put forward a charter of King John, in which neither the day on 1 1 the fair is to be held or its duration are specified The case is to be tried. The jury next present the fact, that two bailiffs of Bogode Clare had erected a gallows in the lordship of Holy well uiihin the last ten years, and had hanged two criminals, a i and a woman thereon, the man it seems for horscsteal- ing *, the offence of the woman not being stated. When the manor came into the hands of Merton College, the same r of executing offenders, probably those who were caught rcd- ! in theft, was claimed and exercised t. Bogo de Clare is • Jumcntum applies to all cattle, but most frequently to hone*, t See my History of Prices, vol. ii. p. 666. i88 JUDICIAL PROCEDURE. summoned to the court with his bailiffs. He claims that the parsons of Holywell had possessed these liberties time out of mind, and prays enquiry. A jury is impanelled with certain knights elected for this purpose, who allege on oath that the liberties claimed have always belonged to the parson. The Chancellor of the University now appears and puts in a charter of 52 Henry III, containing an inspeximus of an- other charter issued twenty years before, and on the following day a second charter, to be followed by two more charters of the reigning king. Among other details, the first charter fixes the rate of interest to be paid to the Jews for loans, viz. id. per week per pound sterling, or 42 \ per cent, per annum. The Mayor and Bailiffs of Oxford are to make oath, that they will preserve the liberties of the University, and the local police of the Assize of Bread and Beer is to be carried out by the Burgesses *, notice being given to the Chancellor or Proctors the day before, or, on failure of notice, the Assize to be void. At this time then the administration of justice, in the case of wrongs done by parties, is in the hands of the town authorities, viz. the Mayor, the four Aldermen, and eight Burgesses. The points in dispute between the Town and the University are to be decided in Easter Term at Westminster. The only other complaint presented during the sitting of the Justices at this Session within the walls, is to the effect that when Salmon are on sale in Oxford — the Thames was then throughout its length a Salmon river — the Mayor, Bailiffs, and Burgesses appropriate at their pleasure a quarter of each fish. On enquiry the Town officials have nothing better to say than that they have always done what is com- plained of. The Justices in Eyre thereupon determine that such an appropriation is injurious and hurtful to the Univer- sity, and that the practice must be altogether abandoned. Having dealt with the intramural cases, the Justices pro- * The assize of Bread and Beer is an undated statute of unknown antiquity. In Matthew Paris, under A.D. 1203, it is ascribed to King John. THE EYRE, 1285. 189 cced to the cases which arise in the suburbs, and employ a jury from the North Hundred or from the district outside the North Gate. Here we have a new set of Coroners. Two have died since the last Eyre, but there are four who are still in office. It would seem that the Itinerant Justices did not change their own place of session, which was probably the Castle. The first case is one of robbery. Two persons had been arrested on suspicion of robbery, and lodged in a gaol at Headington, under the custody of the bailiff of Bullingdon, in which hundred, by the way, the north suburb of Oxford was. Presumably one of the culprits was a clerk, for he is rescued from prison by a number of clerks. It seems that the bailiff of Bullingdon permitted the escape of the other. But a considerable sum is found on them, which the rescued man is said to have taken, and this is in the hands of one Hugh de Plessets*, from whom the Sheriff is to recover the money. Then certain homicides are noticed. In one case the cul- prit was brought from Chipping Norton on the charge of parricide. When he and those who had him in custody came near S. Mary Magdalene Church, he contrived to escape, no doubt to the church, acknowledged his offence, and abjured the realm. The town of Chipping Norton is to be prosecuted. Another offender was on his way to the gallows, when certain clerks rescued him, and put him for sanctuary into S. Giles' Church. In this case, as before, the names of the clerks are not known. In a fourth case a murder is committed, and the offender escapes. The person who finds the body makes his appearance, and gets hanged by the judges of gaol delivery, why, the document does not say. In the next case two persons had been lodged in the Castle on, had escaped from the custody of the gaoler, and had taken sanctuary in S. Mary Magdalene Church, with the usual consequences. The Sheriff who had allowed the escape * H ugh dePk«euwM lord of the manor of H«din£too. 190 JUDICIAL PROCEDURE. had died before any judgment had been given as to his neg- ligence. The question, it appears, was referred to the King's Council in Parliament, which decided that action should be taken against the deceased Sheriff's executors. The Rolls of Parliament between 6 Edward I and 18 Edward I are lost, or perhaps one would find some trace of the reference. There are six other homicides and robberies, and another rescue of a criminal from the gallows by clerks, one of which clerks, known by name, absconds. In one case, a former Vicar of S. Giles appropriated the lay chattels of a clerk, who was convicted and handed over to his bishop. For this he is to be fined and made to restore the chattels. A murder by a Jew follows, the offender being captured, and first sent to gaol to Ledes Castle in Kent, and then a remand to Oxford prison. We shall soon see more of him. Three escheats of plots in the suburbs are recorded, and divers pourprestures, one being the obstruction of a water-course, another the building of a cook-shop on the King's highway, near the graveyard of S. Mary Magdalene. In three cases of trespass, if no injury is done to the public, the trespass is condoned, on the pay- ment of a regular rent to the Crown. This license is techni- cally called arrentatio, and occurs frequently in the record. One Henry, son of Milo, takes money from jurors, for giving them notice of their assize and (apparently) their liability to serve. He is to be fined. Under the head of ' subtractions,' i. e. neglect to perform services due to a superior lord, and pay rents, the Chancellor of the University is summoned for a house in Horsemanger Street, i.e. the north side of Broad Street. The Chancellor, Mr. William Pickerel, appears with the Proctors, and ali- as the Jury also testify, that the University is seised of the house and rents. The right is to be tried. A tenement which belonged to one John de Oo, and was now in the occu- pation of the Master and Scholars of Balliol, used to pay the Crown is. \\d. yearly. The Master, however, has not paid, and the court orders that he pay and be fined. The hundred, THE EYRE, i: 191 by which it seems the North Hundred is meant, is returned as worth annually to the King £30, £10 of which has been granted to the family of Bysot or Bissot. The importance of the district comprised under this name, consisted in the fact that the north approach was the most vulnerable part of medieval Oxford. The ninety-seventh case is an appeal of blood, viz. the mur- der of one William de Prene by Isaac de Pulet or Polet, a Jew. The murder was committed on April 22, 1284. The plaint further alleges that Rebecca, the wife of Isaac, was an accomplice. The appellants are the brother, John, and the father, Simon, of the murdered man. By this time, however, one of the Justices in Eyre, Pychford, had left the court, and the Jew is sent to prison till Feb. 18. But by this time Roger Loveday was the only Justice left, and the criminal is re- mitted to prison till further steps can be taken in the matter. From these dates it is clear that the Eyre occupied more than a month in sitting. By the ninety-ninth entry, it appears that one Bekkel, an approver, or as we should now say, a Kind's evidence, charged an accomplice Barton, a clerk, with robbery, and was yet hanged, I presume for some other crime. The clerk was put on his trial before the justices of gaol delivery, was convicted and also hanged, I presume because a former conviction, in which he had claimed his clergy, had been proved against him. His chattels, 103^., had been received by the late Chancellor of the University, Mr. Roger de Rowell. It would seem, therefore, that under certain circumstances the University re- ceived the forfeiture of a felon's chattels. The next two items arc of indicted criminals who have fled from justice, and of a man who was charged with stealing corn, and with other thefts, but was tried and acquitted. The list ends for the present with the names of the Coroners, Mayor, who is on the Jury, and the principal bailiffs, who arc also on it. Then follow the names of eight Jurors and four * Electors.' These appear to be supplementary jurors, or possibly persons who selected 192 JUDICIAL PROCEDURE. other jurors for special cases. Similarly there are one official of the North Gate and twelve jurymen. The rest of the cases are civil suits, or pleas which arise from civil suits. Two of them are cases in which the prose- cutor of a civil suit, who was bound over, himself and two sureties, to prosecute, abandoned proceedings. For this a fine was inflicted on all three. In the first case it appears that a man had married a widow and claims a messuage with its appurtenances in the suburbs, in right of his wife, from a person who he says had disseised unlawfully the mother of the wife. The defendant replies that she conveyed it while she was a widow, and that the woman had acknowledged the defendant's title. The plaintiffs reply that the conveyance was made while the woman was in prison and under duress. This is flatly denied by the defendant. The Court decides against the plaintiff and his wife. The defendant holds the property, and the plaintiffs are fined. The next is another civil suit. The case turns upon the question as to whether a conveyance was made by a young woman at an age at which she could make a valid convey- ance. It was asserted by the defendants that she was of full age, according to the use and custom of Oxford, viz. fifteen years old. The Jury affirm the facts as the defendants state them. The plaintiff is nonsuited, and rendered liable to a fine, but the Justices remit the liability. Next follows the recognition of a debt of twelve marks, which the debtor stipulates that he will pay at next Michael- mas day. Three sureties come forward and acknowledge that if the principal makes default, they will become * prin- cipal debtors,' and that the Sheriff is entitled to issue a fieri facias on their land and chattels. This is I think a trade loan, like the Statute Merchant security of the coming Parliament. Then comes an acknowledgment of half a mark for a license of concord about a plea of land, i. e. for levying a fine. THE EYR1 . 193 In another action it appears that Mr. Peter de Abyndon * (the first Warden of Merton College) had made a grant to a person who by this grant had unjustly disseised the lawful owner. The defendant comes into court, and cannot deny that it was a disseisin. The plaintiff recovers and the de- fendant is to be fined. He had, I presume, his remedy of Warranty against the Warden. The last case is one of illegal and excessive distress, accom- panied by an assault on the wife of the Plaintiff. Walter Feteplace, a member of a family which was of great import- ance and position in medieval Oxford, had let a house to one Richard of Canterbury and Amice his wife, at a rental of nine marks a year (£6). It seems from the details that the tenant was a Vintner. The plaint is that Feteplace en- tered the house, assaulted the woman, beat her and ill-used her, and carried off goods and chattels to the value of fifty- five marks. They give particulars of their loss ; — wine worth £16 I2J., and wine vinegar (as I read the text) up to 53^. 4pi patentes et petit ipsum tanquam Clericum. .t sciatur qualiter ei libcrari debeat inquiratur rei veritas per patriam.

THE following inquisitions are printed as an illustration of the state of the town, and of judicial proceeding therein, a century or so later than the earlier records. The Commis- 3 HENRY IV. 237 sion of Enquiry appears to be addressed to some officer of the Crown, and to the town authorities, viz. the Mayor, the Mayor of the preceding year, and another justice of the peace, with a view especially of enquiring and reporting on the mis- deeds of a clerk, one John Wynter. The authorities make their return about this person, but they also give a long list of thieves and receivers of stolen goods in the City, and par- ticularly of one Morris Macadam and his associates in crime. The returns also give an account of a gang of housebreakers and thieves from Ireland, who infested the town, and were harboured by well-known receivers. A second inquisition held the same day before a different jury, deals with the offences of another clerk, and with the dishonesty of certain tanners at Oxford and Abingdon, who sell leather which is insufficiently prepared. The sale of leather by the foot (I presume the square foot) has not come under my notice else- where. The reference to a statute seems to be that prayed for 1 8 Ric. II. Rot. Parl. III. 331. a. The average price of a tanned back at this date is about y.

UNIVERSITY AND TOWN. K 2 I HE FRAY ON S. SCHOLASTICA'S DAY (Feb 10), 1354. THE story of the Fray on S. Scholastica's Day (Feb. 10), 1354, is told in Wood's Annals of Oxford, Vol. I. p. 455. There had been, it seems, a growing feeling of dissatisfaction among the townspeople at the privileges of the University, and of ill-will towards the Scholars. It is, I think, not un- likely that the natural jealousy of the two Corporations, or perhaps, to be more accurate, of the two chartered institutions, was made keener on the part of the City by the violence and bordination of the students, whose numbers, if we can trust Gascoigne, had been greatly reduced in consequence of the plague, which had been particularly deadly in Oxford, five years before. The quarrel began at a tavern, kept by John de Hereford, who is referred to with others in the docu- ments which follow. Bereford, if Wood is to be relied on, and he probably got all his information from Twyne, subse- quently became Mayor of the Town. Swyndlestock's Inn or •tcl had once belonged to a Jew of that name, and after- which twenty sixt day of July, fell out that yere vppon a Sunday, beinge the next daye after St. James his daye, which was that yere vppon a Saturdaye, the Dominicall letter beinge D. And then, it seemes, the Towne was not pardoned for 2 reasons : first because the Lords of the Councell here appoynteth, that the Towne should giue to the vniuersitie 250** for all manner of amends, exceptis morte ct mahcmio &c. secondly because here is order taken, for such as should be tried for the saide great conflict, to be bound ouer to appeare before the Justices as Judges at the next Sessions or assiscs, for trespasses and felonies then committed &c. which when it was, I cannot yet finde. Another Breife there is followinge a little after, of the said King Edw.inl the 3. directed to the Sheriffe of Oxofi for takinge securitie of those that should be or had byn allrcady indicted hat conflict, and for hauingc their bodies coram dictis Justiciariis ad proximam sessionem suam Ac. dated apud Wcstmonastcrium July 1 6 anno rcgni 29. Nowe these sessions or Assises, wherein these T< were to be tried for their outrages and felonies 9 Retnditione forun. (Txynt.) 254 UNIVERSITY AND TO I committed in the great conflict, must by this account happen betwixt the 17th daye of July, and the 26 daye of the same moneth which is the daye of the date of the restitution of the Townes liberties ; or else, what will become of the matter ? Seinge we cannot suppose that they were restored sufficiently and lawefully, before they were pardoned, because they were not capable of liberties without a pardon; and pardoned they could not be conueniently, before they were tried, and had answered to the lawe &c. therefore we must suppose that they were both tried and pardoned, before they were restored : and yet betwixt the 17th of July, and the 26^, we neither finde mention of either of their triall, or pardon : And when the next Sessions or assises were held that yere, next after the 1 7th of July, we cannot yet be certified. But sure we are, that those next followeinge Assises or Sessions which were to be held for the triall of felonies committed at the great conflict, were not held betwixt the saide 1 7th daye of July, and the 26th daye thereof, but afterwardes ; because the King here saith, that in case the saide summe of money viz. 250*' be not paid in before Munday next after St. James his daye, then John Bedeford, and John Norton, (who had byn let out of prison it seemes, to be agents with the Town 3 for the saide money) should be recommitted to prison againe (viz. to the kinges Marshallsey) citra tertium diem post festum S. Petri ad vincula proxime sequens St. Peters day, beinge the first of August ; and so they were to be reimprisoned againe, in default of non pay- ment of that money or securitie giuen, betwixt the Munday next after St. James his daye, being the 2 5 of July, and the third daye of August, there to be kept, against the time of the next sessions or assises of the Judges &c. And therefore the date of the charter of the restitution of the Townes liberties, is very improbable ; and implieth, as if they were both pardoned and restored to their liberties, before the Sessions came, and consequently before they were tried, which is a nonsence: for then why should they be tried at all ? should they be tried for that, for which they were allready pardoned ? Sol : The pardon respects the Corporation. The Tryall, particular persons. Note that the great conflict happened vppon S. Scholastiks daye beinge 10 February 1354. Then afterwardes, in the lent Assises, as it appeareth by two seuerall commissions of the kinges, sent forth to certaine Judges &c. 6° Martij et xv° Martij, the Towncsmm who had byn the principall ringeleaders of this vprore and outrage, were only THE FRAY ON S. SCHOLASTIC A' S DAY. 255 indicted of felonies committed in that conflict, and some perhaps executed for the same, because the kinge biddeth the Judges to pro- ceede therein, and doe Justice, secundum legem et consuetudinem regni &c. the others, as it seemes remayned vndcr baylc though indicted allso, vntyll the next Assises at Michelmasse, beinge bound ouer to those Assises, and to receaue their triall at that time. In the mcane time, both the Vniuersitie and Towne, in the moneth of Maye, gaue vp their liberties into the kinges handes ; the vniuersitie re- ceauinge pardon and restitution againe of their liberties twice, be- .i the 20th of Maye, and the 27th of June. Then, vppon the 26 of July the same yere, commeth in the Restitution of the Towne liberties, exceptingc such as the King had taken awaye from them, by vertue of their submission and giuen to the Yniuersiiie. Nowe, seinge that their restitution must suppose a pardon (as well as the vniuersities did) and that pardon should either be ioyned with the restitution (as the vniuersities be) or else come forth seuerally before it, to make them capable of receauinge their liberties, hence it is, that we distrust the saide restitution, and demaunde the pardon, which they cannot pro- duce, because as we thinke, they neuer had any, at King Edward the 3 his handes especially ; neither doe I thinke, that the Masters of the vmuersitie, videlicet, those 3 famous Regents The Charletons so often named in those businesses about the great conflict, and at whose direction, all thinges were then done, as well for the vniuersitie as the Towne, would suffer or consent, that the Towne should be pardoned before all thinges betwixt the vniuersitie and the Towne was fully transacted and finished*. For what sence was it, that the kinge should giue them a pardon, and yet binde them ouer to the next Assises at Michelmasse followinge, to receaue their triall for all the felonies and outrages committed by them in the saide great conflict ? Item whereas Offenders haue byn greatly encouraged, because the charters of pardon haue byn so swiftly granted in times past of manslaughters robberies felonies and other trespasses against the peace, it is ordeyned and enacted, that such charters shall not be granted, but only where the kinge maye doe it by his othe, that is to saye, where a man slayeth another in his owne defence, or by mis- fortune &c. In the statutes at large. a° Edwardi 3* p. 68. in a statute made at Northampton. Another statute made anno 4° Edwardi 3* Langbain*. note b this page sufficiently soloes all these argument, vis. that the City as a Body Corporate was pardoned, while private persons were every one to answer for private crime*. (Tiuytu.) 256 UXIVERSITY AND TOWN. for the maintenance of that former statute p. 71 ibidem. Another statute made to the same purpose anno Edwardi 3* 10. p. 76. Another statute made to the same purpose anno regni 14°. p. 80. very peremptory, recitetur si videatur. And that charters of pardon for felonies which shalbe granted at any mans suggestion, the saide suggestion, and the name of him that maketh the suggestion shalbe comprised in the saide charter; because the kinge had granted many pardons (as it seemes) vppon feigned and vntrue suggestions. Edwardi 3* 27. p. 101. And this may be another reason, why the Towne of Oxford or the Townes-men, could not be pardoned at all after the great conflict for the murders and felonies therein, namely because we finde such strict statutes made against grantinge pardons to such offendars in King Edward the 3. his time, before the great conflict, and afterwarde allso*. Note allso, that the kinge (Edward the 3) in his charter of the restitution of the Towne liberties biddeth the Townesmen vse all their other former liberties (not taken from them and giuen to the Vni- uersitie) plene ad gaudere prout ante captionem et turbationem pra> dictas, rite et rationabiliter vti et gaudere consueuistis &c. When as first and foremost, he had granted them no pardon, and secundly they were not yet tried vppon their felonies &c. and thirdly within two dayes of this very restitution, the saide kinge had sent forth his Breife directed to the Mayor and Bayliffes, for the im- peachinge of one of theire maine liberties, viz. for strangers to sell wine there, fish, flesh and other kinde of victualls et alias marcandisas ? by retayle or parcells as they sawe good &c. Teste meipso apud Westmonasterium 28 die Julij anno regni Angliae 29 et Francix 16 which was iust 2 dayes after the date of the supposed charta restitu- tionis libertatum Burgensium Oxofi post magnum conflictum &c. : Liber Vicecancellarij p. 26. 2. et in £ p. 98. absque impedimento seu calumnia eisdem mercatoribus inferenda &c. although the kinge doth there acknowledge that this was a statute of the lande, viz. that strangers might sell their vittayles and wares by retayle in Lundon or any other good Townes &c. Nowe our Townesmen did not nor could not hinder these strangers from so doinge in regard of their liberties (which we deny \\\i.-> restored vnto them as yet) but in regard that they were then them- selves imployed in getting and procuringe victualls and necessaries * This argument would in some part reach the Vniuersitie also which had the kinges pardon on this occasion vide sequentem paginam.

The very same daye allso viz. Julij 28. anno regni 29. the same king sent forth other letters patent to reuoke and recall from the Towne, the priuiledge of weapon bearinge, cancelland' &c. and why should a man thinke that the saide King would not haue recalled allso the Clarkeship of the market which standeth yet to this daye vppon their charter, as well as he recalled this of weapon bearinge, if he made full restitution rightly and duly &c. or that he would not haue recalled all the charters which he had made for the Chancellors and Mayors holdinge of the clarkeship together coniunctiue or that he would not haue recalled the veiwe of franke pledge, when he had taken from it, the assisa panis et cervisiae, assaiam mensurarum et ponderum, the custody of the peace and weapon bearinge and the cognissance of the streets if they had it, and Registers and fore- stallcrs &c.

And that they neuer made sesure of any felons goodes to theire vse or vses or conuerted any part to theire owne vse as the sayd Article is vntruly surmised. 7.

QUARREL AND SUIT ABOUT THE CITY MILL. AMONG other property possessed by the Town of Oxford, and as was said by charter of the first of John (i 199), were the Castle Mills, in S. Thomas' parish. Mills were among most valuable franchises possessed by landowners, bc- sc it was universally the ca- the inhabitants of a manor were compcllablc to use the Lord's Mill, and to incur 284 UNIVERSITY AND TOWN. the liability of such tolls as the Miller was entitled to charge. The discretion of this personage was however checked by the police of the Manor, for if he were presented for extortion, and the case was proved against him, he was liable to a fine, and fines imposed on the Miller frequently occur in the Re- cords of Court Rolls. It may be expedient to illustrate these facts by direct evidence. When Merton College abandoned cultivation on its own account on their Cuxham estate, the income which the Col- lege derived from this Manor, inclusive of the rents of Assise, the contingencies of the Manor, and the receipts of the court, was about £12 a year, the incidents referred to being over £5- But the rent of the water-mill was £2, ioj., and of the fulling- mill 135. 4*/., for occasion was taken to levy a tax on this necessary process in dressing cloth. But the number of in- habitants in the village could not have been more than fifty. The miller's tax was therefore a notable charge on the in- habitants, as he had to live after paying his rent. In all likelihood, it amounted to at least £j los. a year, and it is no wonder that the system, as well as the representative of it, were unpopular. Now the Town (after Henry VI IPs reign, the City) of Ox- ford claimed to have the monopoly of grinding corn for all the burgesses resident therein. There were other ancient mills in Oxford, besides those of the Castle. The monks of Oseney had a mill, and most likely other monasteries which contained running streams within their precincts. The manor of Holy- well certainly had two, of which the most important was that known as King's Mill, purchased it appears in the fifteenth century, the weir and fall of which is at the exit into the Marston-road, of what is now called Mesopotamia. The other was just below the grange, and on the other side of the stream which encloses the Magdalene College Water Walk. The privileges of the manor of Holywell were exten- sive. The manor was neither in the Town, nor in the County, and before it came into the possession of Merton College, the OUARREL AND SUIT ABOUT THE CITY .MILL. privileges of Holywell Manor were successfully insisted on. See above, p. 2 1 If the Town took toll on all the inhabitants for the use of mill, and enforced its real or reputed rights, it kept its mills in good order. Some of the fullest information which I have obtained for the price of mill-stones of the best kind comes from the City Archives. A few years before the trans- actions occur which the following pleadings refer to, the City had gone to the expense of over £25 for a pair of stones to tlu-ir mill, probably the new or third mill which they had re- cently set up. The City claimed the right of confiscating corn which had been ground at other mills, and to hold a Court Leet for the punishment of offenders and defaulters. In their dings they allege that the profit of the mills is the only source of income on which they can rely for the payment of the King's fee-farm rent of £55 6s. %d. or 83 marks a year. It would seem that this fee-farm rent of the mills must be distinguished from the fee-farm of the town, the greater part of which had long been granted to the lepers of St. Bartholo- mew in Cowlcy, though the complainants allege that the profit of the mills is necessary in order that this ancient fee- farm rent might be paid. cms that certain Bakers claimed to be privileged per- sons, and thereupon to be quit of any service to the City, being consequently entitled to grind their corn where they scd. They had therefore resorted to the King's Mill in Holywell Parish. In consequence of the mention of Mr. ;imc as Mayor, Twyne concluded that the pleadings or about the year 1609. Thuv Wlfl no doubt a ,:is I larris, Mayor of Oxford in 1609-10, who seems to have, according to Anthony Wood, negotiated the sale of the A usti to the foundress of Wadham College, and stipulated that his nephew should be one of the first fellows. This young man died in 1614. (Wood's Colleges and Halls.) But the date of the pleadings appears to be settled by an 286 UNIVERSITY AND TOWN. entry in the Register-book of Merton College, under the years 1606 and 1608. The College determined to defend the interests of those who used its Mill, and at a trial held at Nisi Prius during the Oxford Assises in this year, the Jury found against the City, and the costs, £13 6s. 6 whole Counscll of thcCittie required hiin)vnlessc mlant would enter into bond to fetch no more frec- i's Corne, which he would not enter into.

All deny that they can sett downe howe much hath beene ground at the said Holliwell Mills : and agree in all other things with Hill supra. They say there haue bene seisures made of other men's corne beside common Bakers and the Millers haue bene cast from their horses. They deny that they haue carried by stealth or by force or combinded and practised to withdrawe from the Castle Mills otherwise then was lawfull for them. The replication of the Maior Bayliffs 6r*c.

Denie alsoe that the defendants or any other bakers for the Vniuersitie or Colledges haue vsed without any interrup- tion to grind from the Castle Milles otherwise then as they haue done diuerse times by force and with stronge hand, soe as without breach of peace noe seisure could be made of their meale.

That the defendants Pory and Hill are common Bakers and sell to all Cittizens and Country men aswell as to Vni- uersitie men. Vide Court Rolls of 4 Jacobi so presented by the Jury also we haue soe said in our Bill and they haue not denied.

That vpon complaint made to the Lords of the Counsell against the officers of the Citty for seizinge the meale of a priuiledged person they were ordered to make restitution and to be punished : Thomas Smith. Resp. There was not then any hearinge by the Counsell of that which could be shewed for maintenance of such seisure. There is noe proofe that any of the defendants are Vniuer- sitie men which the plaintiffs by Replication deny and they haue not denied in their answer that they are common Bakers which the Hill affirmeth. What was the cause that the scale of the Vniuersitie was put to the composition at the Request of the said Bakers but because the Bakers serucd the Vniuersitie. At least there would have bene some exception of such as were priuiledged men, if any such thinge had bene meant. A Verdict hath bene found against the pretence of the Verdict passed by default and against the proceedinge to triall there was an order in Court which vpon a false sug- gestion in the end of the Terme and order gotton therupon not entered till longe after the Terme was repealed. MISCELLANEOUS. MISCELLANEOUS. THE documents which follow are of a miscellaneous char- acter. The first is the copy of one among the S. Frideswide Charters, and gives in Norman French the boundaries of the Town and its jurisdiction, always excepting the franchise of Holywell manor, and its members, which are geographically included in the Town, but formed an exempt jurisdiction. The date is probably of the first half of the fifteenth century. The jurisdiction of the University was also comprised within the same limits, and was similarly exempt. Part at least of the lordship of the North Hundred was contained in the Town boundaries, but this was also probably under another authority than that of the Mayor and Bailiffs. The second is a rental of the Town. It seems to be in- complete, or to contain those tenements mainly which were near the Town Wall. But the largest item is that derived from the cellar, shops, and chambers under the Guildhall, which was, I presume, on the same site as the present City Buildings are. The third is a list of the tolls leviable on sales in the boun- daries of the City and devoted towards the repair of the Wall, for this is the general meaning of murage. The last two documents relate to buildings still standing in Oxford, viz. the tower of New College and that of Mcrton College Chapel. The former gives only a summary of the charges incurred. It is clear that the amount does not com- prise the particulars of all the expense of building the to for the cost of raising thirty-three feet only of the structure 300 MISCELLANEOUS. is given. Part of the account is for building a portion of the wall. The straw for the tower and walls was probably pur- chased in order to protect new work from frost. The bell- tower, as will be seen, is covered with lead brought by land carnage from Winchester, and lead was probably part of the stores at Wolveshay Castle. I should conclude however that the total sum expended is what the tower cost. The other is the detailed charges incurred for building the tower of Merton College Chapel, near half a century later. The account is reprinted from the third volume of my His- tory of Agriculture and Prices, pp. 720-737. I. [Oxon. (Charters). ST. FRIDESWIDE PRIORY, 58-138.] (Bodleian Library!)
